Some (much delayed) observations:

1) it works to use `labels' instead of `flet'

2) it works to comment out the line in bytecomp.el

(byte-defop-compiler (+ byte-plus)  byte-compile-associative)

I guess byte-compile-associative mangles the '(+ x y) form without
regard for the redefinition in effect. I don't know if that is
fixable, or should be a documented caveat with regards to primitives.
